Infinitely narrow soliton solutions to scalar conservation laws in Colombeau sense (Q3841129)

\textit{H. A. Biagioni} and \textit{M. Obergruggenberger} have constructed a generalized solution to the nonlinear transport equation (alias inviscid Burgers equation) \[ G_t+GG_x=0\tag{1} \] of the form \(G_\varepsilon(x,t)=3c \text{ sech}^2(\sqrt c(x-ct)/2\sqrt\varepsilon)\) [SIAM J. Math. Anal. 23, 923-940 (1992; Zbl 0757.35068)]. Before that, \textit{V. P. Maslov, G. A. Omel'yanov} and \textit{V. A. Tsupin} found an asymptotic solution \(G_\varepsilon(x,t)=A\text{ sech}(c(x-vt)/\varepsilon)\) to equation (1) which they called infinitely narrow soliton [Russ. Math. Surv. 36, 73-149 (1981; Zbl 0494.35080) and Sov. Phys. Dokl. 24, 344-356 (1979; Zbl 0437.76064)]. Both results were based on the approximation of equation (1) by the KdV equation \(G_t+GG_x+\mu G_{xxx}=0\), \(\mu\to 0\). In the present paper the infinitely narrow \(N\)-soliton solution is constructed by using direct methods in the space of Colombeau of generalized functions. This construction is then generalized to the case of the equation \[ G_t+{\partial\over\partial x}f(G)=0, \] referred to as the scalar conservation law.
